The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 By the Moon as she follows him; 2 by the day, when it displays it, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 And by oath of the heaven and by oath of Him Who made it. 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 and inspired it with its sin and its piety, 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]. 10 Thamud (people) denied (their Prophet) through their transgression (by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin). 11 When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with 12 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink! 13 Then they belied him and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal. 14 And He fears not its consequence. 15
